The Masked prince
Chapter 107: The Return of Fearful Past

Chapter 107: The Return of Fearful Past

The men who were waiting for Regan to come and at the same time practicing whatever he had taught them were confused when the prince actually returned.

They were rather shocked by the sudden change in his mood. So shocked that they stopped practicing.

Did he not look as if he would fly into a rage a few moments ago? Then why did he look so bright suddenly? They have been scared actually when they saw the angry prince.

But what did Prince Rex tell Prince Regan to make him forget all his anger?

The men wondered as they looked at each other.

"Why are you standing idle?"

Regan said coldly when he saw them looking at each other with a stupid expression on their faces. The men immediately came out of their trance and straightened their backs as they looked at the prince.

Although Regan looked cold, one could tell that he was just being strict and was not actually very angry.

As much as the men found it relieving, they found it weird as well.

"Practice."

Regan said coldly again and then men immediately forgot all their thoughts and started practicing.

Indeed, Regan’s mood was very bright since the moment Rex told him that Evelyn had gone to buy a gift for him.

She even asked Rex about his likes and dislikes. A smile flashed in Regan’s eyes as he imagined the scene.

A gift for him. He had actually felt a little disappointed in seeing her buy gifts for all her friends. It made him wonder if she didn’t even consider him as important as her friends.

But then he had thought that he was very petty.

However, his Evelyn was very intelligent. She must have not liked anything for him before so she decided to buy something from Mazic.

Regan was very eager to see what Evelyn would buy for him. Somewhere inside his heart, he had already started to treasure the gift and think about where he would place it. He would never let anyone else touch it.

After all, it would be Evelyn’s first gift to him.

Though Regan was very happy, he didn’t forget his worry about Evelyn’s safety.

He summoned Henry and ordered him to send two guards to the city and look for Evelyn.

"Look in the streets where there are many shops. If they find her, they just need to guard her while not letting her know of their presence and ensure that she doesn’t face any trouble. If she faces any problem then they ought to protect her."

Henry lowered his head and said respectfully that he would immediately fulfill the order.

However, before leaving he looked at the prince in confusion. He didn’t know if it was only his illusion or if he was overthinking but to him, it looked as if the prince’s concern for Evelyn was more than that what should be there.

The prince seemed to be a man protecting his woman whenever it was a matter related to Evelyn.

As a man who loved a girl, Henry couldn’t help but come to this conclusion when he saw Regan’s concern for Evelyn.

However, Henry was not sure. In the end, he thought that he should not be nosy as it was a personal matter of the prince.

So he just left to do his own job.

On the other hand, inside the market of Mazic, Evelyn stepped out of another shop with disappointment-filled eyes.

She looked towards the sky and concluded that almost an hour had passed since she had looking for something that she could gift to the prince here and there.

However, she had not found anything.

Evelyn sighed as she wondered if she should just stop. But she really wanted to give him something. The problem actually lay in the fact that he didn’t lack anything.

Would her gift even matter to him?

Evelyn sighed yet again but still walked to another shop.

Another shopkeeper had a stall outside his shop only which had very beautiful showpieces so Evelyn stopped to have a look.

Amidst many pieces, she found one which caught her attention and couldn’t help but pick it and have a look.

It was a small soldier made of iron. It had a sword in its hand. The miniature soldier reminded Evelyn of the prince and she couldn’t help but smile.

"Lady, do you wish to buy this?"

The shopkeeper came out and asked when he saw her standing there. Evelyn was about to shake her head in ’no’ and put the miniature soldier back on the stall when she suddenly felt a vice-like grip on her arm and then a voice fell in her ears.

"Evelyn, is that you?"

Evelyn froze completely. She could hear nothing for a moment as the voice she just heard kept repeating itself inside her head.

The familiarity of the voice scared her to the core. Her breathing became heavy as if she was finding it hard to breathe.

She was so scared that her body started to tremble. The next moment, she was suddenly turned around by the person himself forcefully who had grabbed her arm.

"It’s you, Evelyn."

It was a man who held Evelyn’s arm. He had a very beautiful face and his clothes also looked noble.

His eyes looking at Evelyn refused to move away as if he was afraid that she would disappear the next moment.

His eyes which stayed cold usually had a crack today and there was unbound happiness in them as he looked at the girl in front of her.

However, Evelyn’s reaction was completely opposite to the man’s.

Her face was deathly pale as she looked at him.

Was it strange that even after so many years she could still recognize him at the first glance?

Her green eyes unconsciously started to fill with tears as she breathed more heavily. At the same time, she tried to free her arm from his hold. However, the grip on it tightened so much that the pain spread through her arm.

She, however, felt nothing but fear.

"L...l...Leave."

She stuttered out somehow.

The man’s eyes instantly went cold when he heard her say this.
